This #RemembranceDay, we’re proud that members of HMS Duncan’s ship’s company are representing the Royal Navy across the UK — from a Guard of Honour in Dundee to parades in their hometowns. We remember them. #LestWeForget #HMSDuncan #RoyalNavy Watercolour by @JasonGoldrick1

The flags are flying onboard DUNCAN—can you work out what they mean? 🧐 Naval signal flags have been used for centuries to send messages at sea—especially before modern comms. Today, we fly them for tradition, morale and a bit of fun. What’s your best guess?

Today we mark the anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar – a defining moment in our naval history. The values shown then – courage, leadership, determination – are the same we strive to live by now. From sail to steel, we remain ready to serve. #TrafalgarDay #HMSDuncan

A successful RAS (Replenishment at Sea) today with @RFATidesurge. Always a challenging and high-risk evolution—demanding precision, teamwork, and trust. Well done to the entire ship’s company for keeping it safe and professional. #HMSDuncan #RoyalNavy #SNMG1

This week, HMS Duncan conducted training with our NATO partners, strengthening interoperability and sharpening our warfighting skills. A full programme of gunnery, aviation and seamanship evolutions – building capability together. #WeAreNATO #StrongerTogether

Congratulations to Lt Tommy Walters on successfully passing their WCQ! Another key milestone achieved — and one step closer to taking charge of their own department. Hard work, leadership and determination paying off. ⚓ #HMSDuncan #LastAndBest

An immense privilege to become the next @RoyalNavy Fleet Commander. First afternoon - straight out to see some of our amazing men and women serving on the front line. BZ @HMSDuncan for a fantastic visit.
The Royal Navy has a new Fleet Commander following a formal ceremony on HMS Victory. Vice Admiral Steve Moorhouse, who commanded the UK Carrier Strike Group in 2021, has taken over from Vice Admiral Andy Burns. ➡️ https://t.co/Pf6Rthd4rW
